Okay, This App Just Sounds Creepy

Apps pretty much help me manage my day-to-day life: They help keep a budget, remember my workouts, and even tell me when to feed my dogs.

Hey, gimme a break: I'm busy!

I can even get a laugh out of the most ridiculous of apps (The Predicktor, anyone?), but this one is pretty ridiculous, even for me.

Vital Signs, a just-released app for the iPhone, takes dating to a whole new (read: creepy) level: You simply point your iPhone in front of the object of your affection and the app measures whether or not the person is attracted to you.

How? By measuring the other person's breathing patterns and facial expressions. The idea is that heavier breathing equals attraction.

Or, the other person is silently freaking out because you're pointing your iPhone at their face for an extended period of time. I don't know about you, but that would make my heart rate go up a few notches as I'm fleeing in the other direction.

I'll just measure attraction in the old-fashioned way: Is he kissing me? Then he's probably attracted to me.
